UUhh, no....
Said SQNLDR doesn't have a choice in his details being posted, "Defence Australia" has decreed he shall be the nominated contact - they're public domain with a request for feedback to go to him by 16 October in this document so his job is to salute smartly and say "Yes Sir, I will check my emails for feedback Sir".

There are many real shortcomings of the government much more worthy of being made public than this non-event. Thank you.
IF you genuinely think the Romeo areas liberally scattered throughout this wide brown land are "managing the airspace for our national needs", I have a bridge with a terrific water view I can do you a deal on... Consider what happens in the US in their MOA's, fast jets, AAR, low level work, all sorts of other nasties and you can fly straight through with nowt clearance whatsoever. Imagine doing that here, Ronny would have a heart attack at the mere thought.
I don't consider the Seppo's the sharpest tool in the drawer most of the time, but between them and the Poms, arguably countries with defence budgets equal to our GDP and much freer use of 'defence airspace' maybe we're the ones doing it wrong by wrapping the ADF in cotton wool and associated R-areas bigger than some countries!
